Uniden BC245XLT Scanner User Manual


 
Remote Interface
You can communicate and program your BC 245XLT in
numerous ways with peripheral devices using the RS232C
port. This radio offers the following modes:
SMARTSCAN MODE
Automatically load frequencies, trunking talk
groups and fleetmaps from the Uniden National
Frequency Database server into your scanner
using an external modem or an internal modem
included with a PC.
REMOTE (PC Control) MODE
Program and control your scanner remotely from a
PC using third party software (see the flyer
included in the box).
CLONE MODE
Clone all the frequencies and trunking talk groups
and fleet maps programmed into your scanner to
another BC 245XLT.
Connecting the scanner
Scanner to PC
Plug the smaller end of the supplied RS232C cable into the
remote port which is on the right side of the scanner.
Plug the other end of the cable (DB-9 serial connector) into
a personal computer’s serial port. A few PC’s may require
an adapter, most will not. You may need a DB-9 to DB-25
null modem adapter, available at most computer stores. Of
course, make sure your PC is turned on.
To use SmartScan mode with an internal modem, you will
need a small custom software program to allow the serial
port to talk with the internal modem and act as a simple
“pass through” device. To download this free program, go
to Uniden’s website, look up under Scanners
“SmartScanner” or the BC 245XLT scanner, for the
